Background/Objectives: Tinnitus causes significant cognitive and emotional distress; however, its clinical assessment mostly relies on subjective measures without evaluation of objective indices. In this narrative review, we examined the potential of...

Background: Numerical cognition and motor performance rely on overlapping brain systems, yet the extent of their reciprocal interaction remains unclear. This systematic review explores how number processing influences motor execution and how motor ac...

Background/Objectives: Rapid postural reactions are critical for preventing falls, yet the neural systems supporting these responses are not fully understood, particularly with respect to aging and neurological disorders. Understanding how the brain...

Background: Recent research suggests that damage to right hemisphere regions homotopic to the left hemisphere language network affects language abilities to a greater extent than previously thought. However, few studies have investigated acute disrup...

Background/Objectives: The use of theta-burst stimulation (TBS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) to modulate cognitive function is gaining increasing interest, since it is more time-efficient than standard repetitive transcranial magne...

Background: Emotional prosody refers to the variations in pitch, pause, melody, rhythm, and stress of pronunciation conveying emotional meaning during speech. Although several studies demonstrated that the cerebellum is involved in the network subser...

Background: Reward expectation is an important motivation for aggression. However, despite substantial progress in behavioral studies related to reward expectation in aggression, the neural basis underlying this process remains unclear. Methods: To i...

Sleep disturbances, affecting nearly half of middle-aged adults, have emerged as modifiable determinants of brain health and dementia risk. Recent advances in machine learning applied to MRI enable the estimation of “brain age,” a biomark...

Global warming has been associated with various adverse effects on human physiology, yet its potential impact on brain structure remains largely unexplored. The present pilot study investigated the relationship between core body temperature and whole...

Recent advancements in neuroimaging and genetics have generated a rapid proliferation of primary studies in these fields, leading to the development and application of meta-analytic methods, which have contributed substantially to our understanding o...
